\"Smart<\/a>Sheikh Dr. Hamad Bin Naseer, a member of the royal family of Qatar, is looking to invest in India’s Smart Cities project. He is supposed to make the investment along with Mitesh Sharma, his partner from India. Sharma incidentally is an entrepreneur himself. It is being speculated that he will be putting in INR 100,000 crore into the project that is clearly one of the major dreams of the present Government. However, the sum is not going to be provided at one go \u2013 it will be done over a number of years. The Prince is supposedly interested in investing in 10 smart cities that are to be built across the country in the next 20 years.<\/p>\n

The partners of the Sheikh are looking to invest in areas such as power, healthcare, solar energy, education and development of infrastructure. It is expected that this investment will start coming in three months. This will most probably happen by March 2015. If everything goes well then the Prince could very well consider investing more into the project. Mitesh Sharma is currently responsible for taking care of all the investment being done in this regard.<\/p>\n

As part of that agreement it was decided that the Essel Group would help in the development of five smart cities in the central Indian State. The group said it would invest in the region of INR 7,500 crore. Regarding its agreement with MP, the Essel Group is optimistic that it would receive an affirmative reply in about eight months to come.
